TC Electronic to Host An Afternoon on Loudness' at NAB

TC Electronic to Host An Afternoon on Loudness' at NAB Loudness is one of the hottest topics of today. With the CALM Act and similar legislation in numerous other countries throughout the world, many broadcasters find themselves in a state of transition. To meet the legislative demands, it is necessary to comply with various international broadcast standards. The most important of these will be covered in detail at this Loudness Seminar focused on facts, not products.

The seminar will be divided into four sessions. Each of the three speakers will present, culminating in a roundtable discussion. Each presenter will speak for 45 minutes, and there will be a short break in between sessions, making it possible for attendees to pick and choose which sessions they attend.

TCs HD Development Manager, Thomas Lund, will kick off the seminar with the topic Program Delivery in Accordance with ITU-R BS.1770-2, followed by Jay Yeary, Director of Audio & Studio Engineering at Turner Studios, who will provide insight on how Turner Studios have implemented ways and routines to tackle loudness challenges under the CALM Act. Finally, the chairman of European Broadcast Unions PLOUD Group, Florian Camerer, will talk about the EBU R128 standard, how its being implemented in Europe, and how the R128 will affect program delivery.

In between the individual sessions, light snacks and soft drinks will be served. After the final panel discussion, attendees are welcome to stay for further debate as well as a beer.
